Summary
APokemonfan has created regional variants for the final forms of three starter Pokemon: Serperior, Infernape, and Greninja. The uniquePokemonredesigns refresh these favorites with new typing and altered designs that have fans talking.
In every generation, a new set of Pokemon are chosen to be starters. Choosing aPokemonstartercan determine the difficulty of the game for players in the early stages, but ultimately, the choice is up to personal preference. Some fans choose their starters purely based on type, while others consider elements like their current and evolved appearances. For players who got their start withPokemonin Generations 4-6, these redesigns may be particularly nostalgic and exciting.
Pokemonfan and artist Iker_320 shared their redesigns of Serperior, Infernape, and Greninja. The artist confirmed the typing on the three changes from Grass, Fire/Fighting, and Water/Dark to become Grass/Fire, Fire/Water, and Water/Grass, respectively. Serperior represents its typing with a new red, white, and gray color scheme, while retaining the same general shape of its body. Its collar has become more like that of a dress shirt, and now includes what looks like a red tie. Infernape’s colors have shifted to primarily white with blue and red accents. Its new typing seems to be represented by its fur becoming almost cloudlike, perhaps indicating the result of water evaporating from the heat of the fire.Greninjahas become more froglike, turning green, blue, and orange, with a lilypad worn as a hat.
Pokemon Fans Impressed by Fan’s Regional Designs
OtherPokemonfans have been quick to praise Iker_320 for their three regional Pokemon designs. Several players have stated that these designs look more impressive than some of the ones Game Freak has come up with over the years. Another noted that even though they don’t ordinarily like Infernape and Greninja, they would eagerly include Iker_320’s regional forms on their team. Others have hoped thatPokemon Legends: Z-Amight include regional reworkslike these.
As the years have rolled on,Pokemonhas continuously updated a selection of classic Pokemon rather than simply adding nothing but brand new ones. Mega Evolutions, Gigantamax, and regional variants have offered unique ways to refresh older Pokemon designs without changing the original Pokemon evolutionary lines. This keeps fans who already consider their favorites to be perfect from getting upset, while simultaneously keeping decades-old Pokemon from being forgotten. Asanticipation forPokemon Legends: Z-Acontinues to build, players will likely keep dreaming up the possibilities that could arrive with it.
